Troubleshooting the Most Common Problems with LG LED TV
Related: LG Refrigerator Problems
LG LED TV Screen Blanks Out
One of the problems of LG LED TV is that the device turns on and off by itself and what follows is a popping notice that will make the whole atmosphere pathetic. This problem is followed by changing of colors like green, light which are blinked for about 2 to 4 seconds. This is a problem that many consumers have faced for many days of usage and yet the problem has not been tackled in the new devices as we have continued to be hear complains all over in the internet forums and blogs.
Solution:
Usually, this problem is caused by the unit that supplies power inside the TV. That unit has the function of taking in current and supplying it all the TV’s components.
And when issues develop with that unit, the TV can suddenly stop working – due to a lack of power input.
There are many reasons why the power supply unit fails. Usually, it’s the capacitors on the boards that malfunction. And you’ll see that through a leak or a bulge in the capacitor after taking apart the TV.
Fortunately, repairing is simple. All you have to do is find a technician with good soldering skills to help you!
LG LED TV Not Automatically Tuning
The another problem of LG LED TV is not automatically tuning or changing to other channels is also an issue with these devices. Can you imagine that you are entirely relying on one TV channel the whole day? That would be boring and you would not like it automatically.
Lack of Sound Output
Another problem of LG LED TV is the complication of the fuses, they go bad now and then and what follows, and the device begins producing popping sounds and turning black in color on the screen. You cannot predict when these fuses will go bad, but suddenly when you are enjoying your leisure time watching an interesting program, the devices turns black followed by a popping sound. It would be pathetic.
Solution:
Here, you should disconnect the TV from AC power. After that, click and hold down the power button on the television for 10 seconds.
A minute after that, reconnect the TV to the AC power supply, then click the power button again. From there, try to check for sound output by connecting external speakers.
If the external speakers work properly, then this means that the TV’s internal speakers have malfunctioned. If the external speakers don’t work, then the audio IC that operates the internal speakers isn’t working.
In both cases, the fixes are simple. All that’s required is a replacement for each component!
Lack of Wi-Fi Connection
Among the most common LG LED TV problems is that some users have complained that their LG LED TVs do not configure some settings like the Wi-Fi. Hence if you buy the device with the hope to access the internet through Wi-Fi, oops you better thinks about another device for your next budget.
Solution:
It’s a simple process. All you need to do is check whether the issue is in the router or the television.
If the TV lacks any problems in establishing a mobile device connection, then the router is likely at fault.
Here, we recommend updating the router’s firmware. If that fails, then reset it.
Something else you can do is borrow Wi-Fi extenders and check if they can establish an internet connection.
If signal strength isn’t an issue, then getting a new Wi-Fi adapter for the TV might be necessary!
Horizontal Lines Show On-Screen
Another problem that is frequently reported by LG LED TV users is the user see the appearance of somewhat horizontal lines starting from the top of the screen to the bottom especially when you switch off and on the device. This problem may extend until the screen is occupied with these line making the device look less attractive. The lines may be 1/7 apart.
Solution:
Here, the main issue has to do due with lowered signal strength – sourced in the set-top box cable which connects to the TV.
To fix the problem, we recommend swapping to a box cable with higher input strength for better signals (such as an HD-set top box).
LG LED TV Delivery is not smooth
Some consumers have too complained that the delivery of these devices is poor, you order the device today and to get it delivered to your home, it will take about 2 weeks rather than two days as the protocol with other companies.
For all these LG LED TV problems, you need a technician who has to be paid for the service, sometimes after reporting the problem the technician will take long time before presenting himself. However sometimes they advise you to buy additional equipment to solve the issue which end up increasing your expenses which would have been eliminated if you bought a different TV device.
These are some of the problems faced by LG LED TV users. But this does not mean LG produces really bad products. These problems are in a small fraction and there are millions of happy customers too with LG. Apart from that, these problems occur with other brands too. As long as company provides you good after sales support, it shouldn’t matter.
Also know the common problems of other LG products like LG Refrigerators, LG Phones etc

I bought a LG tv model number 43UP75006LFAEK last month from Argos.I have to retune the tv every other day because some of the main channels disappear.How can this issue be fixed?
The screen on my LG 55″ UJ634V has a very poor picture. ( Very Blue ) not at all clear.
Did you find a solution? My TV is doing the same thing .
One light color line about 8 inches long 1/8 inch wide heading up the screen. Squiggly lines about 1 inch from bottom
I have a 60″ 4K TV about 2 years old now
I have noticed that there are times when the sound drops out for a second or 2
This is when you are streaming and or playing a USB stick
Because it only does it sometimes i thought it may be due to Wi Fi Connection
Then i hard wired the From Modem direct to TV and the issue still happens
I have tested the Modem many times and it is all good
i have 55 in. lg tv the tv seems to have a mind of its own it will go to menu start scrolling through the settings and start changing them and while its doing that my remote control will not work anymore its like it blocks it this usuly happens when i try to change the input setting
I have a mini cable box from Cox, my tv provider. When I try to get the channels when setting up the tv it says no channels on cable. What is the problem? Would appreciate any help.
I have 32″ LG TV, I receive the sound but no picture. How do I fix it?
My LG TV model #50LB5800-UG.
Keeps flicking black then back to screen tv show. So it flicks a black screen over and over. It’s been amazing up until now. Although my son is sad, I’m not so sad he isn’t on youtube right now lol. Any help would be appreciated I cant afford a new tv right now. thanks have a great day.

The TV does not always switch on and then the screen goes black intermittently whilst still keeping sound and is getting worse.
Had my LG 32″ Smart TV for just over 12 months only had it on a couple of times. Now no picture but have sound.
Also my cinema surround wireless speakers receiver unit has conked out and won’t power on.
The model number isn’t even recognised on the LG support page even though I’ve only had it 3 years.
I’ve owned SONY and PHILIPS TVs in the past which have lasted a long time trouble free.
Now I think the best solution for everyone is to not buy LG in future.
Both of my LG tvs have the same issue. They both time out after exactly 1 hr and 5 minutes. Then the show I’m watching, whether it’s a recorded show or Live, goes on pause. I have to go out and log back in. Even then, it might work. Very frustrating . I first thought it could be my Internet provider but Comcast looked it over and stated it wasn’t them, as my other two tvs (not LG) did not have that issue.
LG OLED 65 IN C8 TV losses its antenna TV channel memory from time to time. Lg product support is the worst I have ever experienced. They are not able to offer anything other than keep telling you its your antenna’s problem when I know that all the channels come in fine as long as the TV does not lose its memory. I have seen other customers report the same thing. They push software updates to the TV from time to time and it looks like this latest update screwed things up. Next time I will buy a Sony!

Have LG65LB5200 television and it is experiencing the following problem: the upper part of the screen (approximately 30%) is clear and normal while the bottom 70% is distorted. The bottom center shows dark and the far right side is not clear. Anyone experiencing similar problems or fixed this problem?
Had a similar problem. Unplugged and left for a couple of mins. Plugged in and switched on all ok.
My leg buffers has never found more than 65 channels and constantly needs rebooting
I have the wifi issue. If the pink wand pointer goes off then I know that the WiFi won’t work so no Netflix. It’s just 3 years old. It wasn’t cheap. What a load of rubbish
I have a 43″ LG that looses signal and have to retune channels quite often. My 65″ no problem.
I have a 50 inch smart tv which scrolls “Ballard Rural Television across the screen each time I turn on the set. I am connected to Fioptics cable box from cincinnati Bell.
It goes away after 10 or 20 seconds but I have not found a way to remove that from the screen . I am connected to HDMI2 input but that should make no difference since there is nothing connected to HDMI1. This set is 3 months old.
when I turn the computer on I get a very annoying sound ‘Power On’ and when I turn it off I get a ‘Power Off. How can I get rid of this annoying message.
My lg 43 inch tv.i bought it a year past december.everytime i switch it on i have to retune all the channels
My LG tv is recording channels which I have not set, I go in daily to cancel the recordings but I look again and the recording is back again . I get a message on screen error disk full?
How do I cancel or programme recordings.
My TV stops turning on whenever there is a rain outside of the climate is a bit humid. The power light blinks thrice and nothing happens after that. Whenever there is a sunny day, the TV turns on without an issue. I am confused on how this can happen. Is there a specific part which is catching moisture and leading to this behaviour ?

Re: audio cuts out for 1-2 seconds regularly LG TV MOdel LM6200

Like the above we have sound but not picture. It was all of a sudden, we were watching something and the picture went off.
my 55 inc smart TV device turns on and off by itself . This problem is followed by blinked for about 2 to 4 seconds.
We decided to have a repairman take a look at it, now they are trying to order the board from LG, however they are staying LG will not give them a time are date of shipping, so I’m without a TV that I paid over thousands of dollars for in 2013.
May i ask what board was it?
We have an LG model#32LN5300. We use an antenna. The 3 VHF (same channel-11) just stopped coming in. A really old cathod ray TV using a digital converter box still picks them up fine. LG Tech site is a joke. Anybody here have an answer?
I have a 65″, all of a sudden it started having thin lines randomly flashing on the screen. I replaced the motherboard and the power board. Still did not fix the problem. Any suggestions?

43 inch LED full HD having vertical lines in various colors
My LG led has been working for the past 4 years. Yesterday the picture moved off to the right of the screen so only half of the [icture is visable. Switched the TV off and disconnected and re-connected everything yet the picture is the same.
The screen of my 42″ LED LG TV suddenly goes dark after two years of purchase. The audio continues to be heard. Intermittently the video
comes back briefly. Please advice.
Thanks,
Mesfin

i have a 47″ led smart tv that was bought in dec 14 from currys , who say i should have brought it back to them within 6 months of buying it even though i didnt know of the fault ( tv turns itself off then on again and cant change channel ) . Currys wanted nothing to do with it and told me to contact LG , when i told the assistant my contract was with currys she just shrugged . I have made a complaint to trading standards and plan to take action through the small claims court
Model no.2010 NEW LE5300 while running my tv consol penal On Off switch white light is blinking.But no any problem of my tv programme .pl advice.
I have a 2 year old TV Model – LG 47LA620V – ZA, that won’t respond to the remote control even though the red light on the bottom of the set does flicker as the remote is pressed.
On closer inspection a very small ‘puddle’ of moisture is evident directly under the red light on the bottom of the TV suggesting there is condensation forming within the set as there is no other evidence of a water leak near to the TV.
Has any one experienced this problem before and should the TV be left switched off for safety?
Extreme temperatures will affect the tv too.
yep i have this LG tv and turn off and back on by itself . Well i decided not to pay a single penny to fix it . the solution, well smack at the of the TV and will work .. problem solved… you welcome.
i have problems whit sound on some recorded tv series
LG32LN5300 only alertly over 2 yrs. old died- no picture and wouldn’t power up from back. Repair shop diagnosed bad motherboard and between labor/parts cost comes to nearly 3/4 the cost of a new one. This is first time I’ve had a TV that has failed that soon. Will definitely stay away from LG now as all the research I’ve done showed many, many complaints with this model!
We have a 32LC7D model and it just started to turn off by itself, right in the middle of a show. The cable box stays on and the TV light stays green. Shutting the cable box is no problem, but the TV light won’t shut for about a good 10 secs. later. Then it goes to red. Thought maybe the sleep timer was on , but that is not the case. Thought LG was a good brand, but not so sure anymore. We have 2 other flat screen TV’s (different companies), that have one issue or another. My old old Zenith is still working perfectly, with no issues. Bring back the old type sets. They last longer!
WE BOUGHT TV LAST JULY 2014. AS OF TODAY 06/03/15 THE TV HAS WORKED MAYBE A TOTAL OF 3-4 MONTHS. LAST REPAIR BEING DONE TODAY WHICH WAS
REPLACING SWITCH FOR THE SECOND TIME. THE OTHER TIME WAS IN FEB/MAR AND IT LASTED MAYBE A MONTH. HAVE SPENT LOTS OF TIME WAITNG FOR REPAIRMAN TO GET TO HOUSE ONCE HE ORDERED PART WHICH ALSO TOOK OVER A MONTH BOTH TIMES. THIS PARTS HAS 90 DAY WARRANTY. IF IT GOES OUT AFTER THAT, I HAVE A TV THAT COST $412.00 AND WORKED 3-4 MONTHS AT THE MOST. PATHETIC!!!! I WILL NEVER EVER BUY ANOTHER LG PRODUCT OF ANY KIND. I DID NOT BUY A SERVICE CONTRACT AS THE TV HAS A YEAR WARRANTY, BUT AFTER THAT, YOU ARE OUT!!
